Report: Effects of the statement on foreign higher education qualifications

A study by UHR has shown that evaluations of foreign higher educational qualifications help foreign graduates find work more quickly. After one year, 9 per cent more are employed if they have a statement, while 11 per cent more are after three years. Read more about UHR’s study.

Short version of the report

The brochure, “One step on the road to the labour market” contains an abridged version of the report on the effects of the statement. It also contains a description of how the evaluation process takes place.
